    “Hurry up, Timmy!” shouted his father. “The sheep will get away from us.” 
    “But, I’m trying my best father,” answered the young 11-year-old boy who was also aspiring to be a shepherd. 
    The night felt special and magical to the other shepherds who were keeping watch over their sheep and goats from vicious animals such as foxes, wolves, lions, and other fierce meat-eating creatures in the dark quiet night in the hills of Israel. They had gotten used to staying up late and even keeping watch over several hundred sheep all at once and at various times. Timmy had Betsy in his hands. She was just a couple of months old. She was his pet. “Ah, tonight feels different from other nights,” said Roadster to Joshua, Timmy’s father. Joshua replied, “Ah, I wonder if something will happen.” “It does feel too quiet and calm.”

    People have always been fascinated with the hidden, the mysterious, and the unexplained. Every society has its tall tales and ghost stories, its odd legends, and heroes. Also, every society has its stories of strange beasts, dangerous or benign, that live in the twilight world between the everyday and the legendary. Through most of history, people have been closely tied to nature, hunting in forests and having an intimate knowledge of the animals in their regions. So-called “primitive” peoples were walking encyclopedias of the natural world, and yet most believed there were more creatures lurking in those woods than the ones they usually encountered. Even as the world becomes more connected, the belief in strange creatures continues as strong as ever. 
    	As a result, in one sense it shouldn’t be surprising that people across the United States have reported seeing weird cryptids, including giant birds, sea serpents, wolfmen, and a creature so bizarre it defies any rational classification. The only thing these monsters have in common is that all have been seen regularly and reported by seemingly sober, rational witnesses in the United States, even as conventional science suggests these monsters cannot exist and that all the sightings are mistakes, misidentifications, or hoaxes.  
    	In some cases, this may be true, but in others, it’s harder to accept. For example, one story about a 10-year-old boy being carried off by a giant bird was witnessed by several other people. Likewise, the Gloucester sea serpent seen by hundreds of people and carefully and scientifically investigated, and during one week in 1909, hundreds if not thousands of people reported seeing the Jersey Devil. Sightings of wolf-like creatures walking on two legs have been reported for more than 100 years.

    Ella, a ten and a half-year-old girl, cannot move on with her life after the death of her older sister. Sadness from the loss and the fear of forgetting her sister overcome Ella, taking away her joy. She loses her purpose, and the future feels bleak. Unexpectedly for Ella, her family moves halfway across the country, and she has to enroll in a new school mid-year—another unwanted change.
